Report on Doug Rosoff bicycle fatality in Ukiah completed

A report detailing exactly what happened the day Ukiah psychiatrist Doug Rosoff was killed on his bicycle has been completed by a state investigation team.

Mike Geniella, spokesman for the Mendocino County District Attorney's Office, said Friday that the report had been received and was "under review."

Ukiah Police Department Chief Chris Dewey said the Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) visited Ukiah twice to reconstruct what happened when Rosoff was hit by a semi trailer around 8 a.m. Aug. 24 at the intersection of East Gobbi Street and South Orchard Avenue.

UPD officers found Rosoff dead at the scene and located the dump truck that hit him about a block away. Dewey said the truck was headed to the intersection of East Perkins Street and North Orchard Avenue, where the former McDonald's restaurant was being torn down.

The UPD reports that the driver "cooperated fully with investigators" and was not arrested. The name has not been released.

Who was at fault has yet to be determined, and Dewey said the MAIT report is expected to reveal that information.

Dewey said the services provided by MAIT are requested by agencies like the UPD when fatalities occur in traffic accidents, and were provided at no cost to his department.
